What comes first ?

The chickens or the house ?
Well for now it’s got to be the house. We are now on a time limit to finish the house as I have ordered the chickens for the 18th Oct and the house needs to be finished by then. Good incentive I thought.
At this exact moment people should be working on it while I am in Singida with three of our women's group members training in chicken keeping and rearing. We have two days training in Singida with a chicken expert at VETA (Vocational Education Training Authority) and then two days in the village with all the members. Doricus Mbura, Fatuma Ali and Mirium Monko are all great students and extremely excited about what they are learning and seeing; especially when we work out the money we can make. We have some theory training as well as some practical training. We have just completed our first day and are full of important information.
I will write again next week just before I leave this area to give a final blog in Tanzania. Hopefully I will be telling you about how the chickens are settling in and how lovely their house is. Thanks for reading.
